At 1t Again.

"Texas"-Charles Parker who was
released from jail last Thursday, be-
haved himself in first class style until
Saturday night. when his nature
again got the better of him and he
made savage raid upon a
prominent young farmer giving
him a black eye, besides knocking
him down. 1t is only matter of a
few days or weeks until 'Texas' will
again be serving the city or county.

A SAD CASE.
A Farmer i'm This County Charg-
ed With q Terrible Crime
-Surrenders Himself

The vicinity of Longwood is all torn
up over a case of ravish upon the
seventeen-year-old daughter of James
Kearney, who resides about three
miles northwest of that village.
r. B. Harmon, a neighbOr of MIR.
Kearney, is married man and is the
father of six children. 1t seems that
he had ravished the person of Miss
Louisa Kearney, and by means only
known to himself, kept the unfortun-
ate girl from relating the affair.
No suspicion was aroused until she
began to show signs of beng preg-
nant, when she told the story of her
wrongs and put the responsibility
upon Harmon.
Yesterday evening a posse OF In
dignant citizens went to his residence
for the purpose Of capturing him and
placing him in the hands of the
officers, but when they arrived it was
found that he had skipped, as they
thought, the country. The widest
excitement prevailed all day yester-
day, and mob violence was feared:
This morning Harmon appeared and
gave himself up to Constable
W. H. Glass, of Longwood.
The young girl is said to have always
borne an unblemished character. 1t
is to be hoped that the law will deal
with Harmon as he justly deserves.

A GRAIN MAN INTRO UBLE.
Fined Heavily Before Justice
Fisher This Morning.

Last night a prominent grain man OF
Kansas City was arrested on a charge
of obtaining money under false pre-
tense and was taken before Justice
Fisher this morning and fined the
sum of $50. Not being able to pay
his fine, he left his gold watch and chain
until he could get the necessary
amount. 1t all grew out of his going
to local grain man and securing his
Endorsement to a draft on the st.
Louis firm he represents, which firm
denied owing him dollar, and would
not accept the draft.

said that they might have been made
by Cohen's ring.
Joseph Cramer testified to about
the same as his brother, denyin G
however, that he struck Cohen with
a chair.
Mr.. Irons, a clerk in the store,
didn't know much about the affair one
way or the other and was soon dis
missed.
DR.. Small, a witness for the de-
PENDANT, stated 81 saw the fight !;
saw Mr.. Cohen lay down on his back
on the sidewalk f; saw no knife used.
coHEN's STATEMENT.

gentleman, saying as [ approached

coat to put nae out. | asked him to

out into the street if he wanted
to fight. We went into the
street, where the fight occurred. L
used no knife"
Several gentlemen who witnessed
the fight testified that they saw no
knife used by Cohen, and the evidence
in this respect showed that what was
supposed to be knife was
nothing more than his ring,
which was completely dem olished.
The arguments in the case have
been made, but up to the hour of go
ing to press no decision had been
given.

A FIGHT On THE STREET.
A New York Drummer Tries To
Play Pugilist But Gets
Done ND in Grand
Style.

An alteTCdllOu tOOh pldSO abOut
noon to-day between Mr.. Cramer. of
the Famous clothing store, and a
drummer named S. Cohen, OF New
York City. The ARRAY occurred on
Ohio street, near the side door of the
store, and when the fight
ended, a large crowd had
gathered to see the fun. Some
time ago Cramer received a very in
sulting letter from Cohen, and it
seems that when Cohen entered the
store this morning he renewed his
abuse on Mr.. Cramer, who bore his
insults as long as his nature would
permit. Cohen struck Cramer, where
upon the latter kicked the drummer
out of the store and into the street
where they both commenced to give
display of their pugilistic abilities.
The fight shortly ended without seri.
!, Gus damage to either party. A war
rant has been issued for Cohen and
the case will come up for trial to-
morrow morning before Justice Fisher.
THE TRIAL.
The case of the state against Lewis
Cohen before Justice Fisher this
morning, was almost as interesting as
the ARRAY between Cramer and
Cohen, the other morning. AT this
writing the trial is in progress, and so
far has been lively one throughout.
The first witness to take the stand
was Mr.. Alexander Cramer.
THE TESTIMONY.
"That man there, Mr.. Cohen, who
pretends to be travelling man, came
int my store and said he wanted to
have a settlement with me. l ordered
him out twice and he re-
fused to heed me. step.
ped from behind the counter
and proceeded to put him out ; he
put his hand into his pocket and
drew out his knife and as l approach
ed him he struck to stab me with it.
/ lodged the blow and caught hold OF
him. He at last got out into the
street, when he closed his knife and
commenced to strike me about the
face with the butt end. / soon be-
came weak and he knocked me
down."
The following letter written by Mr..
Cohen to NJ. Cramer was here intro
duced.
THE LETTER.
Mr.. Cramer al think it as little
and mean a trick as business man
could perform to make an appoint
ment on Sunday, as you have with
me, and not even send me an excuse.
Not that / am by any means very
anxious to sell you, but having made
the engagement in good faith, / ex-
pected at least as much courtesy in re-
turn, as call from you. However,
it may turn out for the best, as shall
never darken your doors again.
Respectfully, LEWIS COHEN"
In the cross examination by Capt.
Bridges the latter made some refer
ence to Cramer's nose, which
was somewhat dilapidated in the
fight, to which Mr.. Cramer replied
in an angry tone, that his nose was
just as good as any mans, causing
considerable amusement for the spec
tators. Said Mr.. Cramer
"He came into my store in sort
of Jesse James style, and I began
talking in a pugilistic manner, saying
"you wrote d lie"
DIR. Shilling was called and stated
that he examined Mr.. Cramer's
wounds; that they looked like they
had been made with the butt end of a
knife. but on cross.examination he

A report comes from Longwood to
